The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

It can be understood that each of the at least one page thumbnail may also include at least one icon, and the at least one icon in each page thumbnail is the same as the icon in the page corresponding to the each page thumbnail.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic device responds to the first input, the icon management interface may be displayed, and the icon management interface may include a first area, a second area, and a third area. The at least one page thumbnail can be located in a first area of the icon management interface.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the second area may be a mode selection area, and may be used to trigger switching of an icon movement mode (for example, the first mode and the second mode in this embodiment of the present invention). The third area may be a candidate page area, and may be configured to display a candidate page thumbnail, and specifically, the candidate page thumbnail may be a page thumbnail of another page in the desktop of the electronic device except for a page corresponding to the at least one page thumbnail.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the at least one page thumbnail is a page thumbnail, the at least one page thumbnail may be a page thumbnail of a page on which the user performs the first input. When the at least one page thumbnail is a plurality of page thumbnails, the plurality of page thumbnails may be a page thumbnail of a first target page and a page thumbnail of at least one page located before the first target page; or, the plurality of page thumbnails may be a page thumbnail of the first target page and a page thumbnail of at least one page located after the first target page; alternatively, the plurality of page thumbnails may be page thumbnails for the first target page, page thumbnails for at least one page located before the first target page, and page thumbnails for at least one page located after the first target page. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, at least one page located before the first target page may be a partial page of a page located before the first target page in a desktop of the electronic device, or may be all pages of pages located before the first target page in the desktop of the electronic device.

Example 4: in the first implementation manner, assuming that the first target page is one page in the desktop of the electronic device, and the first input is a long-press input of the user in a blank area of the first target page, as shown in (a) in fig. 6, the user may long-press in the blank area of the first target page 60, that is, the electronic device receives the first input of the user, and then, in response to the first input, as shown in (b) in fig. 6, the electronic device may display an icon management interface 61, where a page thumbnail 62 of the first target page is included in the icon management interface 61 (that is, at least one page thumbnail is one page thumbnail).

For convenience of description, in the following embodiments, the icon moving method provided by the embodiments of the present invention is exemplarily described by taking the at least one page thumbnail as a plurality of page thumbnails.

S203, the electronic equipment receives a second input of the user.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the second input may be a sliding input of a user on an icon management interface; or, the input may be a click input of the user on the icon management interface, or any possible form of input, such as a long-press input of the user on the icon management interface, which may be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second input may correspond to a first direction, that is, the first direction may be a direction corresponding to the second input.

For example, when the second input is a sliding input of the user on the icon management interface, the first direction may be an input direction of the first input; that is, the second input may be a sliding input that a user slides in the first direction on the icon management interface. When the second input is a click input of the user on the icon management interface, click inputs of different click times may correspond to different first directions. When the second input is long-press input of the user on the icon management interface, different press durations can correspond to different first directions. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first direction may be any possible direction in the icon management interface, and may be specifically determined according to an actual use requirement, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, assuming that the icon management interface is the interface shown at 70 in fig. 7, the first direction may be a direction from the bottom of the icon management interface to the top of the icon management interface, i.e., an upward direction, i.e., a direction shown by an arrow 71 in fig. 7. Alternatively, the first direction may be a direction from the top of the icon management interface to the bottom of the icon management interface, i.e., a downward direction, i.e., a direction as shown by arrow 72 in fig. 7. Alternatively, the first direction may be a direction from the right area of the icon management interface to the left area of the icon management interface, i.e., a leftward direction, i.e., a direction shown by an arrow 73 in fig. 7. Alternatively, the first direction may be any possible direction from the left area of the icon management interface to the right area of the icon management interface, i.e., to the right, i.e., as indicated by arrow 74 in fig. 7. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

The bottom, top, left area, right area, and the like of the icon management interface are illustrated by displaying the icon management interface on the screen of the electronic device when the electronic device faces the user.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the sliding input may be a sliding input in which a user slides with a single finger; or, the sliding input may be a sliding input in which the user slides with two fingers; alternatively, the slide input may be any possible slide form such as a slide input in which the user slides with three fingers. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

And S204, the electronic equipment responds to the second input, and aligns icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail in the plurality of page thumbnails in the direction corresponding to the second input.

The target page thumbnail may be a page thumbnail in the plurality of page thumbnails. Specifically, the target page thumbnail may be determined according to the number of icons and the arrangement of the icons in the page corresponding to the multiple page thumbnails.

In order to better describe various implementation manners of the embodiments of the present invention, except for specific descriptions, the number of the target page thumbnails mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention is not limited, that is, the target page thumbnail mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention may be one page thumbnail or may be multiple page thumbnails.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may align all icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the first direction, may also align some icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the first direction, and may specifically be determined according to the actual arrangement condition of the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Specifically, for an icon in the page corresponding to a target page thumbnail, if there is an empty icon position (e.g., the dashed rounded rectangle 81a1 shown in fig. 8 (b)) in the first direction within the movable range of the icon from the icon, the electronic device may move the icon in the first direction until there is no empty icon position in the first direction, that is, the icon is aligned with the first direction; if there is no empty icon position in the first direction of the icon from the icon, the electronic device may hold the icon still.

It should be noted that the dotted rounded rectangle (for example, the dotted rounded rectangle 81a1 shown in (b) in fig. 8) used for indicating the empty icon positions in the drawings of the embodiment of the present invention is only an exemplary illustration of the empty icon positions, and in actual implementation, the dotted rounded rectangle may not be visible to the user.

For the description of the icon positions and the empty icon positions, reference may be made to the description of the icon positions and the empty icon positions in the noun explanation section, which is not described herein again.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device aligns an icon in a page corresponding to the target page thumbnail among the multiple page thumbnails in a direction corresponding to the second input, which may be understood as: the electronic device controls the icon in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to move in a direction corresponding to the second input.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device aligns the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail among the multiple page thumbnails, in a possible implementation manner, the electronic device may align the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail within the page. In another possible implementation manner, the electronic device may align icons in a page corresponding to the target page thumbnail among different pages.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, in the possible implementation manner, the S204 may be specifically implemented by the following S204 a.

And S204a, the electronic equipment aligns the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail in the direction corresponding to the second input in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can control one or more icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to align to the direction (namely the first direction) corresponding to the second input in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail, so that the efficiency of moving the icons in the page can be improved, and the man-machine interaction performance is improved.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, in another possible implementation manner described above, the step S204 may be specifically implemented by the step S204b described below.

S204b, when the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail has an empty icon position in the direction corresponding to the second input, the electronic device moves the icon in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail and aligns the icon in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail in the direction corresponding to the second input.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first page thumbnail may be a page thumbnail in the multiple page thumbnails.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device moves the icon in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail, and aligns the icon in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail in the direction corresponding to the second input (i.e., the first direction).

The empty icon position is the empty icon position, and the empty icon position have the same meaning and can be interchanged.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the target page thumbnail and the first page thumbnail are arranged along a direction corresponding to the second input (i.e., the first direction).

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first page thumbnail may be one or multiple, and specifically, the first page thumbnail may be determined according to at least one of the number of icons, the number of empty icon positions, the icon arrangement condition, and the arrangement condition of empty icon positions in a page corresponding to the multiple page thumbnails, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the target page thumbnails and the first page thumbnail may be sequentially arranged along a direction corresponding to the second input, or may be arranged at intervals along a direction corresponding to the second input, which may be determined specifically according to an actual use requirement, and this embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may move all icons or a part of icons in the target page thumbnail to a page corresponding to the first page thumbnail, and align the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail to a direction corresponding to the second input (i.e., a first direction); the specific location may be determined according to the distribution of the empty icon positions in the first page reduction diagram in the first direction.

Specifically, if the number of the vacant icon positions arranged along the first direction in the first page thumbnail is greater than or equal to the number of the icons arranged along the first direction in the target page thumbnail, the electronic device may move all the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail, and align the icons in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail to the first direction; that is, the electronic device may align all icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail in the first direction. If the number of the vacant icon positions arranged along the first direction in the first page thumbnail is smaller than the number of the icons arranged along the first direction in the target page thumbnail, the electronic device may move a part of the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail, and align the icons in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail to the first direction; that is, a part of icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail can be aligned to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail in the first direction.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, before the electronic device moves the icon in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail and aligns the icon in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail in the direction corresponding to the second input, the electronic device may align the icon in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail in the first direction until there is no empty icon position between icons arranged in the first direction in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail. Then, the electronic device may move the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail from the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail in sequence along the first direction until there is no empty icon position in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail in the first direction. Finally, the electronic device can control the remaining icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to move in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail along the first direction until no vacant icon positions exist among the icons arranged in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail along the first direction.

It can be understood that, because the number of the vacant icon positions in the first direction in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail may be greater than or equal to the number of the icons arranged along the first direction in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail, or may be smaller than the number of the icons arranged along the first direction in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail, the electronic device may move all or part of the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail from the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail along the direction corresponding to the second input (i.e., the first direction), and specifically may be determined according to the number of the vacant icon positions in the first direction in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail and the number of the icons in the first direction in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail.

Of course, it can be understood that, in the process that the electronic device moves the icon in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail and aligns the icon in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail in the direction corresponding to the second input, that is, in the process that the electronic device aligns the icon in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail in the direction corresponding to the second input, the electronic device may also keep the icon in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail still. In this case, after the electronic device moves the icon in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail to the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail and aligns in the direction corresponding to the second input in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail, there may be an empty icon position between icons arranged in the input direction of the second input in the page corresponding to the first page thumbnail.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic equipment can move the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail among the pages corresponding to different page thumbnails, so that the flexibility and convenience of moving the icons among the pages are improved on the basis of simultaneously moving one or more icons, and the man-machine interaction performance can be improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the electronic device aligns the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail in the multiple page thumbnails in the direction corresponding to the second input, the electronic device may align the icons in the target page thumbnail in the multiple page thumbnails in the direction corresponding to the second input.

For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, after S203, the method for moving an icon provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S205 described below.

And S205, the electronic equipment responds to the second input, and aligns the icon in the target page thumbnail in the plurality of page thumbnails to the direction corresponding to the second input.

Exemplarily, assuming that the second input is a sliding input in which the user slides from a lower region in the icon management interface to an upper region in the icon management interface, that is, the first direction is an upward direction; then, as shown in (a) in fig. 8, the electronic device displays an icon management interface 80, where the icon management interface 80 includes two page thumbnails, namely a page thumbnail 81 and a page thumbnail 82, where the page corresponding to the page thumbnail 81 is a first target page (a page shown as 81a in (b) in fig. 8), and the page corresponding to the page thumbnail 82 is a page subsequent to the first target page (a page shown as 82a in (b) in fig. 8), that is, the second implementation manner. The user may slide from the lower area in the icon management interface 80 to the upper area in the icon management interface 80, that is, the electronic device receives a second input from the user, and then, in response to the second input, the electronic device may align the icons in the page corresponding to the target page thumbnail among the two page thumbnails upward.

Specifically, in one possible implementation manner described above, as shown in (a) in fig. 9, for the icon in the page 81a, the electronic device may move the icon of "music 1" in the page 81a by one icon position upwards, and move the icon of "music 2" in the page 81a by two icon positions upwards; for the icon in page 82a, the electronic device may move the icon for "camera" in page 82a up one icon position; that is, the electronic device aligns the icons in the page corresponding to the destination page thumbnails (i.e., the page thumbnail shown at 81 in (b) in fig. 9 and the page thumbnail shown at 82 in (b) in fig. 9) in the direction corresponding to the second input within the page corresponding to the destination page thumbnail. It will be appreciated that in this one possible implementation, the destination page thumbnails are the page thumbnails shown at 81 in (b) of FIG. 9 and the page thumbnails shown at 82 in (b) of FIG. 9.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in (b) in fig. 9, the page thumbnail 81 in the icon management page 80 and the icon in the page thumbnail 82 are also moved in the same manner.

In another possible implementation manner described above, as shown in (a) of fig. 10, for the icon in the page 81a, the electronic device may move the icon of "music 1" in the page 81a by one icon position upward, and move the icon of "music 2" in the page 81a by two icon positions upward; for the icon in page 82a, the electronic device may move the icon of "camera" in page 82a up three icon positions, i.e., the electronic device moves the icon of "camera" in page 81a corresponding to the page thumbnail shown at 81 in (b) in fig. 10 to page 82a corresponding to the page thumbnail shown at 82 in (b) in fig. 10 and aligns up in page 82 a. It is to be understood that, in this other possible implementation, the target page thumbnail is a page thumbnail shown at 82 in (b) in fig. 10, and the first page thumbnail is a page thumbnail shown at 81 in (b) in fig. 10.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in (b) in fig. 10, the page thumbnail 81 in the icon management page 80 and the icon in the page thumbnail 82 are also moved in the same manner.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment, it is illustrated that at least one page thumbnail in the icon management interface is taken as a plurality of page thumbnails, for the description that the at least one page thumbnail is one page thumbnail, reference may be made to the related description that the at least one page thumbnail is a plurality of page thumbnails, and details are not repeated here to avoid repetition.

In the icon moving method provided by the embodiment of the invention, after the user triggers the electronic equipment to display the page thumbnails of a plurality of pages in the desktop of the electronic equipment in the icon management page, because the user can trigger the electronic equipment through one input and align the icons in one or more pages of the pages corresponding to the page thumbnails with the direction corresponding to the input uniformly, namely, one input of the user can trigger the electronic equipment to move a plurality of icons simultaneously, the process of moving the icons can be simplified, and the man-machine interaction performance is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second area (e.g., 120 shown in (a) in fig. 12) in the icon management interface may include a first control (e.g., 121 shown in (a) in fig. 12) and a second control (e.g., 122 shown in (a) in fig. 12), where the first control may be used to trigger the electronic device to switch to the first mode (e.g., switch from the second mode to the first mode), and the second control may be used to trigger the electronic device to switch to the second mode (e.g., switch from the first mode to the second mode). In the first mode, based on user input, the icon may move within a page corresponding to the page thumbnail (i.e., one possible implementation manner described above); in the second mode, the icons may be moved between pages corresponding to the page thumbnails based on user input (i.e., another possible implementation described above).

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a user may trigger the electronic device to switch from the second mode to the first mode by inputting to the first control.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 12, the user holds the second page thumbnail 123 and drags it from the third area 124 into the first area 125, i.e., the electronic device receives a third input of the second page thumbnail from the user, and then, as shown in (b) of fig. 12, the electronic device may display the second page thumbnail 123 in the first area 125 and cancel the display of the second page thumbnail 123 in the third area 124.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the page thumbnail is not displayed at the input end position of the third input, the electronic device may directly display the second page thumbnail at the input end position of the third input. If the page thumbnail displayed in the first area is not full and the page thumbnail is already displayed at the input end position of the third input, the electronic device may first move the page thumbnail displayed at the position to the next display position in the first area at the position, and then display a second page thumbnail at the input end position of the third input; if the page thumbnail displayed in the first area is full, the electronic device may display the page thumbnail displayed at the input end position of the third input in the third area, and display a second page thumbnail at the input end position of the third input; if the page thumbnail displayed in the first area is full, the electronic device may squeeze the page thumbnail originally displayed at the input end position of the third input to the next display position in the first area, and so on, the electronic device may squeeze the page thumbnail displayed at the last display position in the first area out of the first area, and display the squeezed page thumbnail in the third area.

In the embodiment of the invention, the third area in the icon management interface can display the candidate page thumbnails, so that a user can trigger the electronic device to move the electronic device to the first area in the icon management interface by inputting the second page thumbnail in the candidate page thumbnails, the user can directly operate on the icon management interface to trigger the electronic device to update the page thumbnails displayed in the first area, and the user does not need to return to a desktop first and then execute the first input on the desktop to trigger the electronic device to update the page thumbnails displayed in the first area. Therefore, the speed and convenience for updating the page thumbnail displayed in the first area can be improved, the process of moving the icon is further simplified, the efficiency of moving the icon is improved, and the human-computer interaction performance can be improved.
